The prosecutors are protecting a poorly constructed case with no physical evidence linking the boys to the crime
Think about it. The woman was brutally beaten and almost bled to death. Yet none of the boys had any blood on them or their clothes or shoes.....not a drop
There was DNA on the woman but it did not match any of the 5
DNA a did match the guy who confessed in prison. The guy who actually knew details about the crime that matched the evidence
Consider this, however, when the event happened, none of the neighborhood people including Donald J Trump, shed any tears for the fate of the CP5. They were well known thugs in the area.
If they were as pure as they claimed after they were sent up the river, they would have had witnesses testifying that they had the wrong guys and what kind of boy scouts these youngsters were.
